A little glimpse of summer on this chilly day.🌞🌈

Stocking up for the Chalk Art Contest at 5th Street Revivals. Be sure to save the date!
➡️July 3rd
➡️Live music!
➡️ Great food!

Does anyone else think we should also have a 'Double Dutch Contest'? Do children even know what it is? Better yet, can those of us who know...still do it?🤔👧😆

If you would like to volunteer, sponsor an artist ($5) or make a donation of prizes or chalk, please reach out!

Got to go visit one of my first, large scale murals with my son during his field trip at Wildlife Prairie Park. I can't believe how well it has held up over the last 17 or 18🤔 years!

This was a project I did while I was a Naturalist and Animal Keeper at the park. There were also a couple of ICC students who helped collaborate to paint the wolf and fox, as well as the Recreation Center in lodging.

I am so grateful for the experience this Midwest gem provided for me, as well as the opportunity to revisit the position that shaped my core values and combined my biology and art path.

Many of the animals featured at the time have come and gone. But new ambassadors and conservation causes have emerged. If you haven't been out lately, I highly recommend you visit and check out the new lodging and amazing animals! There have been a lot of additions and it is always worth the visit🐢🐾🐿️🦅.

🐚⛱️🌊Looking for some beachy vibes? Check out my River Beach Glass Art 5th Street Revivals! This isn't your everyday store craft glass. This art is made with 95% locally sourced 'junk' straight out of our local waterway and river beaches. Most people don't think of Illinois as having 'beach glass' but I promise you, there is plenty!

History: Glass, particularly in the form of abandoned bottles and industrial refuse, has been present in the Illinois River since at least the late 19th and early 20th centuries, coinciding with the rise of major glass manufacturing plants in the region. During the Manufacturing Boom (1870s-1900s), The Illinois Glass Company was founded in 1873, and the Streator Bottle & Glass Company began operations in 1887. These companies, and others, produced significant amounts of glass products that subsequently entered the waste stream of the river valley.

Come check out my jewelry and mosaics this weekend! The entire booth is 10% off everything!

🔥🐎'Year of the Fire Horse'
This 20 x 16" original acrylic painting is now available at 5th Street Revivals.

Ya'll...this one definitely made me step outside my comfort zone. A little backstory: This year, according to Chinese Zodiac, is the rare 60 year occurrence of 'The Fire Horse'. It is recognized as a powerful year for courageous, independent actions and bold personal goals. I felt the need to accept the challenge since relaunching my own business this year and dedicating my life to what I am passionate about. I am so grateful for those of you who are supporting my entrepreneurial journey. This one is dedicated to everyone else who is setting these same goals this year. 🫵🔥🐎

Have a restful weekend.❤️🫶

Clear coating...like the glitter sprinkled on top of a cake. The final step before framing and in some cases, weeks or even years in the making.😅🖌️🎨💋
